title: Straightforward method for measuring optical fiber's nonlinear coefficient based on phase mismatching FWM.
abstract: A novel method for measuring optical fiber's nonlinear coefficient, based on phase mismatching four-wave mixing is proposed. Measurements for both high nonlinearity dispersion shifted fiber and low nonlinearity standard single mode fiber are demonstrated with simple setup. Chromatic dispersion is also measured with high precision simultaneously, and therefore its effect to the nonlinear coefficient measurement can be removed.
